The first season of Timeless just ended last night, but what about season two? Recently, co-creator Shawn Ryan spoke with Deadline about plans for the future of the NBC TV series.
The action-adventure drama follows a history professor, a soldier, and a scientist as they travel through time to stop a mysterious criminal. The cast includes Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Visnjic, and Paterson Joseph.
In the interview, Ryan revealed the season one cliffhanger is meant to set up season two:
We had thought for awhile about what the best way was to give some closure for Season 1 while also setting us up for a new dynamic in Season 2. We wanted to bring Garcia Flynn’s journey to some kind of end, though I’m sure we’ll see more of him going forward. So while many people might see our Season 1 conclusion as a cliffhanger, we see it as a wrap-up of Season 1 and a launch point for Season 2.”
Later, he mentioned that he and co-creator Eric Kripke are pitching season two to NBC in April:
We are working on our overall plan for Season 2 right now and we’ll pitch it to NBC in April, so I’m reluctant to get too much into it because we’ll want to take a deep breath and evaluate the whole season before we commit to what we want to do in Season 2. What I can say is the current plan involves our heroes traveling to the past to stop history from being perverted and changed too much.”
As of now, NBC has not yet announced whether Timeless will be renewed or not. Currently, the series is part of an ongoing lawsuit and ratings have been on the decline since the series premiered in October.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Timeless? Do you want a second season?
Please renew- I didn’t come across this show until I saw it on Hulu. So between catching up there and on NBC I enjoyed it immensely. If they do cancel they better at least allow for a better resolution than the cliff hanger here!
Please renew Timeless – it is such a great show – only new show this year worth watching.
Please renew the show. Great cast chemistry and character development. Love seeing and learning about lesser known sides, facts, facets and personages from history. All around a solid show with a lot of potential going into season 2 with alternate time lines, time/space breaches and parallel universes.
Love the show! Breath of fresh air. Love the history-telling elements too.
Love this show. 2nd season please!
Please RENEW! One of the best new shows! You can’t leave us hanging with that cliffhanger!
Timeless is a great show! Please renew!
Best new show this year!
I loved the show the story line and costumes were great sure you have a season two.
Pleaseeeee renew it,this show is awesome.
Timeless must be renewed! There are characters with depth and history that we need to learn about and can make for good episodes. I think the show can find its way to better ratings just as supernatural did.
Please renew!!! This show is amazing!!!
Love this show!! It is the ONLY TV show I watch; the only reason I look forward to Mondays!! Hope and pray that it is renewed.
Great show. Please renew. Good ethical questions about time travel. My almost 16 yr old & I watch together. We love the history.
My wife and I look forward to watching Timeless every week. It is a great show! Clean and fun! Definitely want season 2. It is going to need a budget of equal value or more. If they get cheap their doomed.
